Reason for the Delay

• Reduced the frequency of changes being made.
• Check to see how the performance of the server degrades (if at all)
• Furture Changes/Updates will be made to a public test server, depending on feedback will be carried over to live or removed.

Test Server Access Steps

• Create a Copy of your Zircon Folder, For Example ZirconTest
• Change the following Lines.

Launcher.ini

[Patcher]
Host=https://www.zirconserver.com/Client/Patch_Test/

Zircon.ini

[Network]
UseNetworkConfig=True
IPAddress=145.239.6.155

Is now Open.

Spot on Jamie this is exactly what is needed. :encouragement:

 

[Ksx]

Great job, keep it up!! You should ignore the ppl that only cry for all :P

 

[Drakay]

Good to see things and being noted and time/effort being put in to them.

 

[Jamie]

Updated Test server instuctions.

---------- Post Merged at 05:46 PM ---------- Previous Post was at 04:09 PM ----------

Test server is now Live.

 

[holo]

How will test server work? Is it a fresh new server that will run it's own course with its own playerbase? Or is it just a shard of current that'll just be deleted?

A copy of the Live data every week or so will be used.

 

[wumatica]

Spot on!

 

[Mythra]

Would be cool if you added an all-purpose NPC, this is going to be a test server so it would come in handy if we could increase/decrease our level, level up spells and get all the items we may need to properly test any change at all levels of play, this way we should be able to provide you with much more feedback.

 

[WargodSius]

How many people logged on for more than 20 minutes Jamie?

 

[Westie]

Has there been any changes made too test server yet?
I logged on to test sc last night, stacked sc and went to numa, was hitting only red numbers and average about 60, before hand with holy items hitting between 160 - 400.

If nothing has been implemented yet then fair enough i will try again when done!

I'd assume the first post will be edited with changes made, well i'd hope so anyway! That way people know what they're actually testing :P

Are you able to expand on the "Map Effect System" please? Is it a map buff? An increasing mob difficulty the more people on the map (Like Archons)?

Cheers,
XIII

New hermit - A nerf to anyone 60+ ?
Or have I misunderstood and you can only pick elements for 40-59 and then other stats 60+ ?

You are able to pick 1 hermit or mixed hermit upto a maximum of 50 stats

This may need to be unlimited mixed stats or 50 single stats

 

[Piff1]

Any chance of getting the Hermit stats changed sooner than the 6th? It really is effect us wizard at leveling.

#Banyo Temple feedback



700HP with full buffs+pig

1. Banya Temple 2nd - Exp: 10%, Drop 5%, Gold: 5%, Health: 10%, Damage 0%
It's fine, the changes are barely noticeable. This is the floor I'd choose to level/farm.

2. Banya Temple 3rd W - Exp: 20%, Drop 10%, Gold: 10%, Health: 20%, Damage 0%
The progression is spot on so far, the only problem is the addition of casters and that you can only find lures in the big square sections of the map. Casters damage range from 16 to 40 while max crit i've received is 50 and they attack really fast. It's soloable at lvl 51 but the potion rape is real, this floor has no enticement whatsoever for me.

3. Banya Temple 3rd E - Exp: 20%, Drop 10%, Gold: 10%, Health: 20%, Damage 0%
This map is so small it doesn't really matter.

4. Banya Temple 4th - Exp: 30%, Drop 15%, Gold: 15%, Health: 30%, Damage 0%
Medium sized map, not fit for leveling/farming... next pls

5. Banya Temple 5th - Exp: 40%, Drop 20%, Gold: 20%, Health: 40%, Damage 0%
6. Banya Temple 6th - Exp: 50%, Drop 25%, Gold: 25%, Health: 50%, Damage 5%
Both 5F and 6F are perfect maps for lvling if not for the fact that 5F has no lures and the same goes for 6F except the stairs to 7F. I would consider removing the ranged mobs from these floors and increasing the mobs (by a lot) in order to make it a good lvling zone for lvls 40-45

7. Banya Temple 7th - Exp: 60%, Drop 30%, Gold: 30%, Health: 60%, Damage 10%
8. Banya Temple 8th - Exp: 70%, Drop 35%, Gold: 35%, Health: 70%, Damage 15%
This is where the rape begins, there are so many ranged mobs that I can barely keep up. It's totally inviable to hunt (keep in mind that this was tested with a lvl 51 wiz and Banya Temple is supposed to be for lower lvls) in there and I think that's fine but oh boy... I'm not going anywhere these floors unless you do what I suggested about 5F and 6F (removing ranged mobs)

9. Banya Temple 9th W - Exp: 80%, Drop 40%, Gold: 40%, Health: 80%, Damage 20%
10. Banya Temple 9th E - Exp: 80%, Drop 40%, Gold: 40%, Health: 80%, Damage 20%
11. Banya Temple 10th - Exp: 90%, Drop 45%, Gold: 45%, Health: 90%, Damage 25%
I got annihilated in 8F so I guess these floors are the same... but I wouldn't change anything in these because they should not be leveling floors, they should act as deterrence to those who want to go to kill the boss.

Overall I'd say the changes are good and the exp/damage/hp progression is spot on but the ranged mobs ruin it for wizards, I will certainly not go past 2F if I want to farm items and low lvls will get raped in higher floors.

Test Server Update

• Banyo Solider now has Holy Attack Element
• Goru General now has Dark Attack Element

Jamie can you talk us through this decision, just seems like it will hurt lower levels trying to hunt there especially in Goru..
